SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 302,014, dated July 15, 1884.

Application filed April 24, 1884. (ModeL) To aZZ whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, EMiL T. MUELLER, of La Crosse, in the county of La Grosse and State of Wisconsin, have invented a new and Improved Pool and Billiard Oue Chalker, of

which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

The object of my invention is to provide a new and improved device for holding a piece of chalk for chalking billiard-cues, which cuechalker is adapted to be secured to the side or any other convenient part of the billiardor pool table. I

The invention consists in the construction and arrangement of parts, as will be hereinafter fully described and claimed.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification,

in which similar letters of referenceindicate corresponding parts in both the figures.

Figure 1 is a longitudinalsectional View of my improved cue-chalker, and Fig; 2 is aplan view of the same.

A tubular receptacle, A, is provided-on its upper end with a funneh B, and is also provided near its center with a laterally-projecting arm, (3, having two end lugs, D, through which screws are passed into the side or other convenient part of the billiard or pool table for the purpose of holding the receptacle on the said side or other convenient part of the billiard-table I. A screW,E, passes up through the bottom of the receptacle, and is provided 4 on its lower end with a milled or other'head,

F, for turning it. On the upper end of the screw E a piston, plunger, or disk, G, contained in the receptacle A, rests, and on the said disk a piece, H, of chalk rests. A stud, J, projects from theinner surface ofthe recep'tacle A into a vertical groove, K, in the piece, of chalk, to keep the same from turning. As the piece of chalk H wears off, it is pushed upward by turning the screw E. llhe tip'is placed on the top of the piece of chalk H, and the cue is turned, and thus chalked. The funnel B guides the top of thecue to the piece of chalk. V

I am aware that a chalk-ho1der has been formed with a squareapertured receptacle contracted at its top to prevent the chalk from crating a loose plate upon which the chalk rested; and I do not claim any such construction as of my invention.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secu'reyby Letters Patent, isv 1. A chalk-holder made in one piece, and consisting of the tubular receptacle A, formed with a funnel, B, at its upper end, and with the arms 0, having side lugs, D, substantially as set forth,

2. Achalk-holder made in one piece, and consisting of the tubular receptacle A, formed with the funnel B, attachingarm O D, and inturning, substantially -as set forth.

receptacle A, closed at its lower end and formed at its upper end with the funnel B, stud J on the interior of the receptacle, and attachingarm 0, all of said parts formed in one piece with the loose disk G, and the screw E, passing into the receptacle below the disk, substantially as set forth.
